.T aLl/' whom/ it ina/y coin/cern:

Be it known that I, BENEDICT AnAMowicz,

a subject of the Czar of Russia, residing at Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and

State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Curtain- Poles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to anew and useful lo improvement in curtain-poles, and has for its object to provide a new and improved curtaln-pole by which a curtain may be suspended from said pole withoutv passing over the poule and without pinningthe curtain, and said curtain will be held securely in place,

but may be easilyV removed from the pole at any time desired, and a further object oi' my invention is to provide improved hangers for said pole, said hangers being Aso constructed 2o that they may be placed in contact with the pole at any point desired.

With these ends in view this invention consists in' the details of construction and combination of elementshereinafter set Jforth z 5 and -then specifically designated by 'the claim. Y

In order that those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains may understand how to maire and use the saine, the 3o construction and operation will now be described in detail, referring to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this speciiication, in which Y Figure 1 is a cross-section through my im- 3 5 proved pole; Fig. 2', a perspective view of the slot D, narrower than the opening C, extends from said opening to the interior of the pole, through the lower side thereof. E .is a small ole or rod smaller than the opening C, but arger in diameter than the width of the slot v5o D. The curtam is adapted to be placed around the pole or rod D, and then the rod, with-the curtainthereon, is slipped into the opening C, the curtain hanging downward through the slot D, and the friction between loop adapted to embrace the pole.

tion.

the pole E and the plate A will prevent the curtain from slipping', and the more the curtain is pulled upon the greater will be the Jfriction generated between the two poles, binding the curtain in between them. Therefore by this means the curtain can be adjusted very easily and will be held in place securely after being once adjusted and. may be easily removed at any time desired, and by doing away entirely with pins or other fas- .tenings the curtain Is not mutilated at all.

The hanger B entirelysurrounds the pole A except-for a short distance at the lower end and the two ends of the surrounding portion oi the hanger terminating each side ofthe slot D. Therefore said hangers can be secured at any point desired and will not interfere with the hanging of the curtain. The hanger B is formed ot a single piece of wire bent upon itself midway its length to form a split The free portions or' the wire are twisted around themselves near their ends and terminate in diverging port-ions provided with eyes, by means of which the hanger is :secured in posi- A hanger constructed in this manner permits the pole to be sprung into position, and thereby obviates the labor and delay of sliding the pole into position, as is customary in devices of this character.

Of course I donot wish to be limited to the exact construction here shown, as slight modifications could be made without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and useful is- In combination with a pole provided with a longitudinal opening formed .therethrough ,connected with the exterior of a pole by a longitudinal slot, and a smaller pole around which the curtain is placed lying within the opening of the larger pole; a hanger for the said larger pole, said hanger comprising a single piece of wire bent upon itself tb form a split ring, the free portions of the wire being twisted one around the other and terminating in eyes, as and for the purpose set forth.

. In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature in the presence of'two subscribing witnesses.
